The two of them didn't go back to school immediately and chose a cafe.
It was not yet dusk, and there were not many people. When Cheng Zhan was finishing his sentence, two glasses of iced Americano were also served. Siye took a sip, and it felt cold from his throat to his heart. He didn't know that he put too much ice in it.
, or because of Cheng Zhan’s words.
He asked Cheng Zhan, "Have you never cared about anyone's life or death?"
Cheng Zhan put down the coffee cup. He didn't know if he had thought about it seriously, but he answered quickly, "I haven't cared about it." Then he looked up at him and said, "This is not what I should pay attention to."
Si Ye understood what he meant.
Cheng Zhan has always been a solitary person and does not interact with anyone. Once there is an intersection, it must be related to the wizard spirit. When he meets the wizard spirit, his task is to seal it, and he never cares what happens to the person controlled by the wizard spirit.
As he said himself, he only needs to complete the task. As for other people and things, they are not his concern.
"What about now?" Si Ye asked again.
Cheng Zhan's spoon for stirring coffee paused slightly and looked at him, "Now?"
"What if there is a witch spirit inside me?"
Cheng Zhan said, "Seal."
"But I'm going to die, right?"
"right."
Si Ye met his gaze, "So, you can also seal?"
Cheng Zhan looked at him quietly for a long time, then withdrew his hand and leaned back on the chair, "You have a special physique. Generally, witch spirits can't get on you. And you are by my side, so witch spirits don't dare to provoke you easily."
An answer that counts as an answer, although not a clear answer.
Si Ye actually didn't know why he asked this, as if he was stubbornly asking Cheng Zhan to make a decision, and he was immediately confused.
But in fact, he didn't even know what answer he wanted to hear.
If Cheng Zhan answers yes? then he must feel uncomfortable; if he answers no? It's not like Cheng Zhan's character. So at this moment, Si Ye suddenly felt that Cheng Zhan's answer was just right.
He didn't worry about it anymore. As Cheng Zhan said, he has a special physique. After several battles with the witch spirit, he didn't say that he was possessed by the witch spirit. At most, he was affected by it. Since nothing happened, there is no need to worry about it.
.
Let’s talk about meeting Lin’s mother again. Before going to Lin Ran’s house, Cheng Zhan advocated carrying some things. At that time, Si Ye was still thinking that his emotional intelligence had been opened up. He didn’t expect that this was Cheng Zhan’s plan long ago, so he didn’t care about Si Ye.
Regardless of whether Ye saw Lin Ran at that time, Cheng Zhan would have said that those things were bought by Lin Ran.
Cheng Zhan must have found out that Mother Lin likes sunflowers a long time ago, and he was immediately convinced.
"Most of Lin Ran's clothes are brand-name and expensive, just like the shoes Xiao Xu wears." Si Ye mentioned what he saw, "Whether it is the style or color of the clothes, they are all the same as those she had before.
Her likes are different. Judging from the feeling, it should be the change between her before and after falling in love."
Cheng Zhan also discovered this.
Si Ye was puzzled, "Is this what borrowing is for?"
Cheng Zhan said, "I checked and it seems that most campus loans are to satisfy material desires."
Si Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with Cheng Zhan's words at first, but then Pinpin wanted to laugh. It was indeed a bit strange for a sealed person to understand the suffering of the world.
Cheng Zhan didn't realize there was anything wrong. He pulled out the photo from his phone and pushed it in front of Si Ye, "Take a look."
Si Ye took it and took a look, it was Lin Ran’s cello.
At that time, Cheng Zhan was standing there, and it turned out that he had opened the piano cover and looked at it.
I took two photos, one was of the cello body, with a line of words engraved on it: I want to be by your side.
The writing in the other photo is very hidden, on the fretboard behind the strings -
Evil is the flower that blooms in love.
Not only is the location of the inscription not obvious, but the handwriting is also very small, as if you want to express your emotions but are afraid of being seen.
The text in these two photos is not difficult to understand on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you always feel that you can't explain it, especially the words on the fingerboard.
What does evil mean?
Why is it also called the flower of love?
Perhaps out of her absolute trust in Si Ye, Mother Lin told Si Ye everything about the police investigation. She took out a loan, was forced to pay the debt, and finally couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
When it came to the reason for the loan, the man who was arrested gave a simple answer: If the money is not enough, just borrow it, I will just take out the money, regardless of the other party's use.
In the entire case, Xiao Xu only cooperated with the investigation, and the investigation results showed that Xiao Xu was not involved in Lin Ran's entire loan process.
It can only explain two points. First, Xiao Xu never showed up and Lin Ran was always the main lender; second, Xiao Xu didn't know about this at all.
The police asked Xiao Xu, and Xiao Xu's answer to the police was that he did not know about Lin Ran's loan.
Although Lin's mother had never met Xiao Xu, she was still dissatisfied with what the police said. She told Si Ye that since he was Ranran's boyfriend, how could he know about Ranran's loan? Maybe he was the one who instigated it.
!My Ranran is usually so obedient...
If it were an ordinary thing, Mother Lin's suspicion would be a bit far-fetched. Who said there are no secrets between lovers? But these words just went through Si Ye's ears, especially after seeing the photos taken by Cheng Zhan.
.
He said, "Judging from the changes in Lin Ran's personality, she should be influenced by Xiao Xu. The two have been in love for a long time, so Lin Ran was also affected. Let's not talk about the text in the second photo.
The content, just by looking at the first picture, gives the impression that she only obeys love. With such a character, she can't lend money and still hides Xiao Xu's things."
Cheng Zhan agreed with Si Ye's analysis, and clicked on the content in the second photo with a swipe of his finger, "If Xiao Xu had known about the loan a long time ago, and even said that he was the one who led the loan, then this sentence would be traceable.
It’s a good idea.”
Si Ye nodded.
That’s right, greed in the human heart is evil.
To satisfy this greed in the name of love is also evil.
If you understand it this way, it makes sense, but you need evidence.
Cheng Zhan's fingers kept pressing the word "evil" in the photo. He looked at it for a long time and whispered, "This 'evil' only refers to greed? What else can it be?"
Si Ye suddenly remembered, "That ghost!"
The feeling that had just risen in Cheng Zhan's heart flashed past, and his attention was attracted by Si Ye's words. Yes, he had seen a ghost before.
Who was this ghost during his lifetime? Why is it related to Lin Ran?
"In Lin Ran's case of jumping from a building, only those few people were involved. No new suspects emerged." Si Ye thought about it carefully. If there were any, it stands to reason that the police would not hide the Lin family's parents.
Cheng Zhan was thinking the same thing and asked Si Ye, "Are you sure it has something to do with Lin Ran?"
Si Ye nodded, "I came here because of Lin Ran's matter, but..." He hesitated.
Cheng Zhan waited for him to continue.
Si Ye raised his eyes and looked at him, "But it's strange, she only appeared once, and she urgently needed to express something to me. Before she could finish expressing, she seemed to be taken away by some force."
He described the scene he saw at that time.
This made Cheng Zhan frown.
Finally, ask Si Ye if he still remembers the person's appearance. It is necessary to check. Si Ye is sensitive to souls, so he remembers the other person's appearance clearly, especially the birthmark.
Cheng Zhan wrote them down one by one and said, "I'll check them out."
Si Ye smiled, "I still have the ability to check individuals."
"The Si family is keeping a close eye on you now. It's not as easy for you to investigate as I am." Cheng Zhan said calmly.
Si Ye looked at him, "You have eyes and ears in all directions? You know what my situation is."
"In the past, Si Ye was so weak that he became a thorn in some people's side. Now Si Ye is even more intolerable."
Si Ye heard this and shrugged, "That's right."
Cheng Zhan smiled lightly and said nothing.
Si Ye stretched his waist and said, "The calm before the storm always smells of blood." He asked him seriously, "You have a way to deal with wizards, but what about bad guys? Like those from the Si family who want me.
If you really want to take action against someone who wants to kill you, can you beat them?"
Cheng Zhan looked warm and cool, half-smiling but not smiling, "I never fight with others, you know that."
Si Ye's face collapsed when he heard this, "What should I do? Can you bear to see me go it alone?"
Cheng Zhan said lightly, "What should I do if anything happens? You can deal with them as you would with the Witch Spirits, but their fate will be different from the Witch Spirits."
Si Ye asked what's the difference?
"Witch spirits are immortal and can only be sealed. They are different. They have souls and souls. Once sealed by Hexu Blood, they will be destroyed both soul and spirit."
These words came out of Cheng Zhan's mouth, and a very gentle breeze came, but it made Si Ye's back feel cold. Leng Buding remembered that Fang Ting and the others had been injured by Hexu Xue under the influence of the witch spirit before, but then they
It's okay, he always believed that the combined blood deficiency was not very harmful to people.
It turns out that's not the case.
He understood what Cheng Zhan meant. Once Hexu sealed someone like a wizard spirit, the sealed person would not simply die, but would not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
"Well," Si Ye touched his nose, "Don't be in a hurry to deal with the people of the Si family. Wait until I have time to give them small punishments and severe punishments. It's really disgusting, and then I'll ask you to come forward."
He thinks that beating people to death is the limit, but also makes them unable to be reborn? It is detrimental to moral integrity.
Cheng Zhan narrowed his eyes and smiled, not wanting to expose Si Ye's thoughts. The topic came back to him, "So, I'm here to investigate this person."
"Okay." Si Ye didn't stop him, "On Xiao Xu's end, I'll find a way to talk."
Cheng Zhan asked, "Do you need me?"
"We are in the same dormitory. We can do anything. I'm afraid of scaring the children if you take action." Si Ye said half-jokingly.
Cheng Zhan didn't force it, "Okay."
It can be said that the troops are divided into two groups.
Although there is a lot of fog ahead, Si Ye has a feeling that they will soon grasp an important clue and then drag out the truth bit by bit.
When it comes to scaring people, Si Ye thinks of Shen Xun again.
Asked Cheng Zhan, "Isn't it just to scare him? Why can't he eat well and sleep uneasily until now? I remember that he is not timid."
Although it was a question, there was obvious doubt, and the target of the doubt was obviously Cheng Zhan.
Cheng Zhan said slowly, "Well, it is indeed not an ordinary scare."
How do you say this?
Cheng Zhan leaned forward, looked at his superior Si Ye's puzzled look, and said word by word, "I took away one of his souls, so he can't eat well and sleep restlessly. It's normal."
He leaned back in his chair again and added slowly, "In your words, small punishments and big warnings."
Si Ye suddenly widened his eyes:...
Damn it! What kind of hatred and hatred is there, Brother Zhan...
